Re: Is this hand worth a check raise?
I don't mind your plan to checkraise. The problem arises when villain overbets the pot. Now stack size considerations become a problem.
Options for Hero after Villain bets 425 :
1) Pushing. Mad.
2) Standard raise (your line). Bad because it pot commits you.
3) Small raise/ minraise planning to fold to a reraise. Probably a better line. Villain will fold air, a small pair or a gutshot. If he raises or calls/bets the turn I think you have to give up the hand though.
4) Call. Weak, but ok here I think, keeping the pot small.
5) Fold. Ok too, play for first later.
